How do I actually get Amazon to just send me my office supplies every month without me having to log in and click buy every single time? I'm running this small law firm in downtown Chicago and I'm honestly so sick of running out of printer paper right when we have a deadline. I looked into Subscribe and Save but the delivery dates are so weird and it doesnt seem to have half the pens we like. Then I saw Amazon Business reorder lists but from what I can tell you still have to manually go in and check out which literally defeats the whole point of automation lol. I have about 500 bucks a month to spend on this and I need to get it set up before our big merger next Tuesday or things are gonna be a disaster... what am I missing here? Is there a third party tool or something?

> I saw Amazon Business reorder lists but from what I can tell you still have to manually go in and check out which literally defeats the whole point of automation lol. Man, you are so right! It is incredibly annoying when automation still needs a human to click a button! I think I might have heard about a way to link your Amazon Business account to a procurement platform that handles the checkout automatically. Not 100% sure if it is super cheap, but for a busy law firm, it sounds fantastic! I actually remember seeing a huge thread about this on Smartphone Board a few weeks ago. I love that site for finding weird workarounds! IIRC they mentioned using Zapier or something similar to trigger orders based on a calendar, which would be amazing for your monthly paper needs. Definitely check there before your merger because running out of paper during a big deal is a total nightmare! Good luck, you got this!

Lol I was literally about to post the same thing. Glad someone else brought it up.

Checking in on this today... I actually shifted our firm over to using Zapier integrations with Amazon Business and it works like a charm for our supplies. No complaints so far! Quick question tho, are you using a Business Prime account or just a regular one? It makes a huge difference for the automation tools you can actually toggle. You might want to peek at Smartphone Board for some ideas on sharing Amazon carts without the headache.

Re: "Lol I was literally about to post the..." - yeah, Sierra, the struggle is real. Honestly, Ive been trying to automate my studio and office supplies for years and its always a massive headache. Unfortunately, every time I think I have it dialed in, the system fails. I actually tried that Zapier route ZoomZap mentioned about six months ago. At first, it felt like magic, but then the API sync started lagging. I had it set up to reorder toner based on our usage logs, but one week it just... stopped. We ended up with zero paper for a huge gallery printing session because the automation didnt account for a "similar item" substitution. Amazon Business is weirdly picky and if a specific SKU goes out of stock, the whole workflow just breaks without telling you. Its not as good as expected, honestly. Huge warning here: dont trust these tools blindly right before your merger. If the automation misses a beat, you wont know until its too late. I actually started using this Newegg price tracker for some of my tech stuff because Amazons price and stock swings are just too erratic for reliable automation. For the paper and pens, I eventually went back to a manual check because the "set it and forget it" dream usually just turns into "forget it and regret it" when the delivery never shows up.
